Forest Kindergarten

The little girl didn't speak, Ye Kong took out a lollipop from his bag and handed it to her, Fei Ya looked at him, then at the beautifully packaged lollipop, snatched it, and ran upstairs.

"Hey, Fei Ya, wait!" Ye Kong yelled, he didn't rush to chase, and turned on the light. In the huge living room, there was only one orange light on the ceiling, casting shadows everywhere.

Fei Ya ran very fast, running up to the second floor like a little monkey, Ye Kong smiled and said, "Be careful, I'll take you home after eating."

Maybe it was because of his gentle tone and not very aggressive appearance, the little girl sat down on the stairs, opened the candy and put it in her mouth.

Ye Kong no longer cared about her, and packed his luggage by himself.

"My name is Ye Kong, you can call me brother Xiaokong, elder brother, teacher, Xiaokong, whatever." He placed the things in the big bag neatly on the floor.

He didn't have many things. A few clothes, cotton or linen, faded after washing, but they were clean and smooth.A pair of sneakers, a pair of slippers, mobile phone chargers and earphones, simple toiletries, books and some stationery.

"From now on, you can come to play with me every day..." Ye Kong knocked out the notebook, turned it around, and put it on the only table in the living room, "Can you take me around tomorrow?"

When he turned his head, Fei Ya was squatting next to his big bag with a lollipop in his mouth, and when he looked inside, his little head with messy hair almost got into it.

Ye Kong pulled the canvas bag up from the bottom of the reinforcement, and the little girl and the small box inside fell out, and the bits and pieces in the box were scattered all over the floor.

He sat cross-legged on the ground and counted them together with Fei Ya: "This is an eraser that my deskmate gave me when I was in elementary school." It was an airplane-shaped eraser with a slightly worn nose. "This is a pen that my high school teacher gave me. This is my medal..."

Fei Ya picked them up and looked at them over and over again. Ye Kong put everything she had read in a box and gave her a box of colored pens: "This is a gift for you."

Fei Ya took the crayon, opened it excitedly, and was about to draw on the wall after searching for a long time. Ye Kong pulled her back and put it on a new notebook: "Draw here, and this notebook is also for you."

One, one, and one were busy with each other. Ye Kong finished packing up and came to watch Fei Ya draw. On the blank paper, he drew a picture in the shape of an animal with a red pen: "What is this? A lion?" He asked.

Fei Ya sipped the sugar and hummed softly, but Ye Kong didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Feiya poked two dots on the animal's face with a red pen, resembling eyes, and said impatiently: "Mountain ghost!"

Her voice was soft and cute, and Ye Kong rubbed the top of her head. It's normal for a child to be afraid of birth and not speak. If Fei Ya is willing to get close to him, it is progress.

He only thought that the mountain ghost was a legend of strange stories in the mountains. Seeing that Feiya had carefully covered the pen and put it in the box, he said, "It's too late, brother Xiaokong will take you home, okay? Don't make grandma worry."

Fei Ya finished eating candy, and looked at Ye Kong eagerly with a paper stick in her mouth. Ye Kong said, "No, children can't eat too much candy. Take me around tomorrow, can I give you another one?"

Fei Ya's eyes lit up, she nodded and said with a smile, "Okay!" Her hair was long, covering her eyes in a mess, and her little face was also dirty with mud rubbed off somewhere. When she smiled, she had two small dimples, and her teeth were white. Yes, it is the unique cuteness and innocence of children.

Ye Kong stood up: "Go, I'll take you home."

When Fei Ya heard that she was going home, she shook her head: "Not going home."

"why?"

"I have to take care of you." The little girl said solemnly, as if she regarded Ye Kong as a big play doll.

Ye Kong smiled and said, "Thank you, I'm really nervous when I live here for the first time, but grandma will be worried if Xiao Feiya doesn't come home."

Fei Ya continued to shake her head: "If you live here alone, you will be caught by the mountain ghost." She was like a big sister taking care of a newcomer.

Ye Kong didn't believe this, but no matter what he said, Fei Ya refused to go back.He had no choice but to call the village chief with the old-fashioned landline placed at the door.

"Hahahaha, Fei Ya's grandmother was afraid that she would go to the mountains, so she made up a story about mountain ghosts eating people to scare her. Wait a minute, I'll go pick her up."

Ye Kong hung up the phone, Fei Ya ran upstairs, he chased after him, there are three rooms on the second floor, each room has a large balcony, two facing the open space in front of the house, one facing the forest behind the house.

Ye Kong chose a room facing the open space, and the beds were all made. Feiya stepped on the tidy bed, but he didn't care, picked her up, and they sat on the balcony together.

It took more than ten minutes for the village chief to walk over, but Fei Ya still held the lollipop stick in his hand, pointed to the sky and said, "Night sky."

Ye Kong: "Yes, my name is also Ye Kong, easy to remember, right?"

Fei Ya nodded: "Will you live here from now on?"

Ye Kong: "Yes, from now on, I will ask you and my younger brother, as well as the older brothers in the neighboring villages, to study, recognize characters, count, play music, draw, etc."

Fei Ya: "Do you have candy every day?"

Ye Kong counted the stock of lollipops, and thought about the distance to the store in the town, and said, "I can make delicious food for you every day, for example, when the weather gets warmer, we can make popsicles."

Fei Ya: "What is a popsicle?"

Ye Kong smoothed her hair with his hands and braided it into a braid: "It's just freezing sugar water or juice, it's cold and sweet, and it's especially refreshing."

Fei Ya swallowed hard: "Okay! Brother Xiaokong, from now on, I will cover you!"

Ye Kong couldn't help laughing, and Fei Ya waved her small fist: "Do you look down on me? I have even beaten mountain ghosts!"

"Speaking of which, what exactly is a mountain ghost?" Ye Kong asked, he guessed it should be an owl or some big fluffy bird.

The sky was completely dark, the stars were dotted with stars, the climate was slightly cool, the mountain wind blew through the mountains and forests, and there were constant rustling sounds, and occasionally the hooting of owls could be heard from a distance.

Fei Ya said mysteriously: "Shan Gui, it's so pretty..."

Before she could finish speaking, the village head walked through the plane tree forest with a flashlight, and shouted: "Feiya, go home!"

Fei Ya hugged Ye Kong's neck: "I won't go back!"

In the end, the village head laughed and tore her off Ye Kong's body, and carried her back under his armpit.

Ye Kong closed the doors and windows to block out the mountain wind and the cries of all kinds of wild animals, and slept soundly and soundly, dreamless all night.

Just after dawn in the morning, I heard the sound of thumping footsteps. After going upstairs, the door of the room was pulled open, and ran in, opened the balcony door, and the cool air of early summer poured in. Ye Kong opened his eyes, A pair of big eyes on the top of the head looked down at him with a smile.

"Fei Ya, so early?" Ye Kong sat up, habitually picked up his phone and checked the time: 6:47.

Fei Ya breathed a sigh of relief: "You are still alive."

"Yeah, thanks to your care, the mountain ghost dare not approach me." Ye Kong got up to go to the bathroom and shut her out. The little girl didn't speak yesterday, but today she babbled endlessly: "The mountain ghost He doesn't come out every day, but with me around, he dare not approach you."

"Where do you want to go today? Huzilin? Onion River? Or the field? Sister Xiaoxue planted glutinous rice, and she said she would make me balls..."

After Ye Kong finished washing, he went to change clothes, and the little girl followed him like a little duck.

Ye Kong was bitten several times by mosquitoes last night and kept scratching his arm. Fei Ya said, "I'll take you to pick wormwood, which can repel mosquitoes."

"Okay, thank you."

Wormwood grows in spring, the most tender in March, and now in early summer and May, the wild wormwood in the mountains grows tall, with thick leaves and white hairs on the back, which smells fresh.

Fei Ya is used to picking wormwood, she can tell the difference between wormwood and wormwood, and she knows that the break is from the leaf base, not the stem.

People in the mountains pay attention to these things the most, and they are in awe of nature. Hunting will not kill them all, and picking wormwood will not uproot it. They only take what they need, and let the rest continue to grow.

After the wormwood was picked, Fei Ya's grandmother took the time to boil wormwood water for her at noon, and applying it on her body could repel mosquitoes and relieve itching.

Fei Miao stood aside and bit her finger. The two-and-a-half-year-old boy was just being cute and mischievous. Grandma pulled some white radishes, carrots and vegetables from the ground, and stuffed a dozen eggs into the basket: "Teacher, please take care of me." They're gone."

She was getting old, and the siblings couldn't catch up at all when they ran.

Ye Kong carried the small basket, held Fei Ya in one hand and hugged Fei Miao in the other, and returned to the place where he lived, planning to give them lessons in the afternoon.

He went to make lunch, and the siblings drew with new crayons.

He made stir-fried vegetables, scrambled eggs with carrots and white radish soup. As soon as he finished serving the rice, he heard Feiya shout, "Eh? Brother Xiaokong, come quickly!".

He ran over to take a look, and suddenly felt that the mountain ghost Fei Ya mentioned might really exist.

The materialistic college student rubbed his eyes, walked over, pinched Fei Miao's little cheek, and pinched another Fei Miao's little cheek.

Fei Ya pointed at them and laughed: "Why are there two Fei Miao?!"
